I haven't really noticed the tire performance to be poor in "bad" weather yet. So far my bad has been several inches of rain and it goes through that just fine. I will have to see how they do on snow this winter. I haven't even noticed a digital spedo yet but I will see if I can find it later and test, I like analog better for it anyways. Several Toyotas use digital spedo only and I cut those cars from the list immediately, that is really annoying to me. Where is the interior fit awful to you? I also haven't heard any real noise from my tires, are yours loud or can you hear them while driving? I hear very little noise in the cabin doing 60-70 on the highway, I do hear a little (not absolutely silent) but very quiet. Steering tightens up at higher speeds but I do notice a tiny bit of extra steering required on the highway, but if you just go straight all is fine if you place the wheel in the proper spot, I do wish there were a bit more feedback. As for the passenger seat, I don't mind because I don't plan on sitting there
